Set within an era when marriage, money and mansions was all that mattered, Uplands explores how Crocker's Hillsboro, California mansion was inspired by the styles of Europe's great castles. Architects, historians and librarians provide a detailed tour of the home, which now serves as a private boarding school. The program also focuses on Crocker's varied life - from producer of silent films to Chinese operas to trips to the Galapagos Islands to his funding the development of the California Academy of Science.
